OBJECTIVE To determine common imaging findings of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma on magnetic resonance images. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search was made of three institutional databases between January 2000 and August 2012. Seven patients (mean age, 47 years; range, 21-66 years; 6 women) with pathology-confirmed diagnosis of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma who had undergone m...

INTRODUCTION Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare malignancy arising from the vascular endothelial cells within the liver. Historically, the disease is characterized as being poorly responsive to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with liver resection or transplantation the treatment of choice when feasible. For patients with advanced disease, reports of long-term therapeutic ben...

INTRODUCTION Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor that has an epithelioid and histiocytoid appearance, originates from vascular endothelial or pre-endothelial cells and comprises less than 1% of all vascular tumors. It was described for the first time in 1975 as pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, because initially it was believed to be an aggressive form of broncho...

Retiform hemangioendothelioma (RH) is an infrequently encountered vascular neoplasm of intermediate or borderline malignancy. Treatment of RH is controversial. We present a case of a 44-year-old Asian male presenting with an unresectable RH of the pelvis. The patient was treated with concurrent low-dose Cisplatin and External beam Radiation (4140cGy in 180cGy per fraction). This is the first re...

Infantile hemangioendothelioma is a rare benign vascular tumor of the liver. We report a case of hepatic hemangioendothelioma in an 8- month-old female infant who presented with hepatomegaly and respiratory distress, which was successfully treated with oral prednisolone for six months.

Pulmonary epithelial hemangioendothelioma is a rare low to intermediate malignant vascular tumor originating from vascular endothelial cells. The therapy for this disease, if possible, is surgical resection. However, there is no standard treatment for patients with multiple unresectable lesions. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman treated with a natural clinical course of hemangioendothe...

epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a vascular tumor with an intermediate malignant potential. this tumor is very rare in the lung parenchyma, and most of the previously reported cases have been asymptomatic. there is no standard therapy for this tumor and prognosis in the previous reports has been variable. herein we report our experience with a 60-year-old woman presenting with hemoptysis and...

Epitheloid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an uncommon angiocentric neoplasm of intermediate malignant potential. This tumor is frequently seen in the lungs and liver, but its presentation in the oral cavity is rare. In the oral cavity, gingival region is the common sites of occurrence. We report a rare case of epitheloid hemangioendothelioma in a 48-year-old male, presenting as a growth in the u...

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is an uncommon malignant vascular tumour usually involving soft tissue and rarely only skin. It is considered to be a borderline neoplasm between angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia and an epithelioid angiosarcoma and is mostly found in adults with few cases reported in children. We herein report a case of ulcerated cutaneous epithelioid hemangioendothel...
